Recommended Installation Steps
We Don't recommends/supports dirty flash, but one thing to note, you always should remove lockscreen & Biometric data before flashing ROM in case you gonna flash dirty.
ROM tested with Ian TWRP ( Download area have it) Credit & Thanks @ ianmacd Here is link for OP and source code.
MultiDisabler is require only those, who want to use stock ROM + TWRP. If you want to flash DrKetan ROM, DONT FLASH MULTIDISABLER
Once you manage to fix it, follow below given tips and go through Add On & Bug bix section below
Important Notes once you finish installing ROM
DON'T INSTALL ANY DISABLER/BT FIX/MAGISK anything after flashing ROM, as ROM already pre patched for all these stuff. Additionally flashing may cause issue. Also you shouldn't WIPE device after flashing ROM, but It should be before flashing ROM.
- It may take 6-7 minutes to finish installation. once installation finish, select reboot to system
- After this first of all open magisk and check if installed correctly, If it ask for complete additional setup, let it do and reboot.(If ROM being installed as said, then it won't ask)
I recommend to disable magisk notification (Magisk - setting - superuser notification - none (This will make mods to work much faster)
After looking magisk is installed properly, open ROM Tool and apply essential Fix - Reboot device after applying essential fix
If you are using Gear watch or other accessory, setup it and finish rest of personal installation.
Done !
Special Note for Gear wearable & Gear SPay
Spay (Gear) working out of box (As per my test), provided you have installed required apps.
To connect it flawlessly,
1.Clean Install ROM + Open ROM Tool and Apply Essential Fix - Reboot
2.Make sure Magisk manager safetyNet check pass
3.Connect gear with Bluetooth (Gear should factory reset) and this will auto install all required apps.
Once Gear connects, simply open Samsung Pay from Galaxy Wearable app - Hide it in Magisk Hide and you should able to add card.
Important : If you want to use EdXposed with Gear Spay then first add your card before installing EdXposed
I recommend clean Installation only. If you are able to handle consequences with dirty flash then proceed, but don't post bugs in forum without clean installing ROM.
Tips,AddOn & Fix
- Rebooting device after appearing lockscreen
This is happens in case you are using dual messanger on decrypted R* ROM, This bug is because of update security by samsung/Google. I have noticed this bug very soon after First Beta for N20 and it still remain on stable R. Here some workaround for this bug
- 3 minit users can use 3minit battery paid version for free. Check this (Thanks to gharrington )
- Stuck while flashing something (Bootloop), How can I reboot to download
There is a golden rule that always works when you stuck anywhere (bootloop). Follow this -
1.Plugin device to PC
2.Keep holding power + vol down
3.As soon as screen goes blank, keep holding vol up + vol down (here you needs to be quick)
And you are in download mode.
- EdXposed You can directly install from Magisk download repositories
- Read ROM Tool - Update & Fix if any new available.
Download : https://drketanrom.com/
This is a customized ROM and for end users only, ROM or any part of ROM/mods not allowed to redistribute,modify or to use as base to prepare new ROM/ part of other ROM.
ROM is live now.
- Base of ROM will remain same as R01 (Official Android 11 - N975FXXU6ETLL)
- Kernel updated to DrKetan Kernel (based on CruelKernel 4.0) with magisk built-in
- As magisk patched kernel included, No more combo key requires to reboot to system with root. Also now you can have TWRP installed.
- Most of root issue should now get fixed
- First Install TWRP (Same as R01 is fine), TWRP available in download area is by Ian and Android 10 based, but we are now having custom kernel so you can keep TWRP installed. Also to note that, if you want official TWRP available based on android 11 You can install it (I have not tested so I am not sure if it works correctly on aroma features or not). If you have any issue with official TWRP, kindly use older TWRP available in ROM download area.
